I have been using IB for about 2 years and am very happy with them. They have so much to offer that their site can be intimidating at first but they have an 800 help number and their people are a joy to talk to. I really like their smart routing particulary with options where the bid/ask can be very different from one exchange to another. Smart Routing will get you the best price. If you trade small amounts the cost of a trade can be $1.00 and there are no maintenance fees.
